Wiring & Config

As of revision B of the Datalogger shield, we've moved away from using digital pins 10, 11, 12, 13 for SPI and A4, A5 for I2C. We now use the 2x3 ICSP header, which means that you don't need special customized I2C or SPI libraries to use with Mega or Leonardo or Zero (or any other future type) of Arduino!

Which version do I have?

This is the older Datalogger shield. In particular, note that the prototyping area is completely full of 0.1" spaced holes

This is the rev B Datalogger. Note that it has a smaller prototyping area and that there is a 2x3 SPI header spot on the right

Older Shield Pinouts

On the older shields, the pinout was fixed to be:

Digital #13 - SPI clock

Digital #12 - SPI MISO

Digital #11 - SPI MOSI

Digital #10 - SD Card chip select (can cut a trace to re-assign)

SDA connected to A4

SCL connected to A5

The RTC (DS1307) I2C logic level was fixed to 5V

Rev B Shield Pinouts

ICSP SCK - SPI clock

ICSP MISO - SPI MISO

ICSP MOSI - SPI MOSI

Digital #10 - SD Card chip select (can cut a trace to re-assign)

SDA notconnected to A4

SCL notconnected to A5

The RTC (PCF8523) logic level can be 3V or 5V

On an UNO, note that Digital #13 is the same as ICSP SCK, #12 is ICSP MISO, #11 is ICSP MOSI, SDA is tied to A4 and SCL is A5. However, that is only true on the UNO! Other Arduino's have different connections. Since the shield no longer makes the assumption it's on an UNO, it is the most cross-compatible shield.

On the bottom of the Rev B shield, you can see that if you have an older Arduino where there is no ICSP 2x3 header, and no SDA/SCL pins, you can short the solder jumpers closed.

If you are using the shield with a 3.3V logic Arduino, you may want to change the Vio jumper. This is what the 10K pullups for I2C are pulled up to. Honestly, the pullups are very weak so if you forget, it's not a big deal. But if you can, cut the small trace between the center pad and 5V and solder the other side so that Vio is connected to 3V
